# Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch vs Time’s Up!

The clearest difference is ads: Time’s Up! at none against Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch's shown. Time’s Up! also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 66%) and device support (5 vs 3). Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 435) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Time’s Up! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch has 41K ratings behind it against 435, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch's written reviews are positive against 84% of Time’s Up!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch ships an update every 10 days, Time’s Up! every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
